Our NATO allies are speaking out against the US. sending cluster bombs to the Ukraine. 120 countries have banned the use of cluster bombs. These bombs are dangerous to civilian populations. The “bomblets” hit the ground in wide areas and often explode well after impact, thus becoming land mines.

The detonation rate is about 70-80%, thus leaving as many as 40-50 bomblets hitting the ground and often exploding if stepped on or moved.
I can’t think of any reason why the US. would provide these bombs to Ukraine. Many countries consider cluster bombs as “morally inhumane.”
Biden’s decision is horribly wrong!
Additional news item-Chicago had 40 people shot last weekend, 7 died.
